    ok, so i think its fair to say its gonna be fred's last game for us this weekend and of course spinner. but, realisticly, who else will play their last game for the shrimpers @ roots hall saturday?

    Spencer Prior

    Spinner will be making his last circuit of the Roots Hall pitch on Saturday and whilst all the attention is likely to surround Fred , lets not forget one of the best servants this club has ever had . No doubt that he deserves the maximum possible send off on Saturday

    Stiffs Loose

    Went to watch the reserves this afternoon, lost 3-0 to Norwich apart from the 1st 10mins of the first half we looked awful. The senior players who were out there (Sodje, Hunt, Lawson, Harold) looked uninterested and already on holiday. Quick mention to Spinner the true pro still played like...

    A piece of good news

    Saganowski Is this where the tide starts to ebb back into our favour again? Having had pretty much everything go wrong in the past 3 weeks or so (other than the win at Preston and most of the other results going our way that day), maybe this is a good piece of news for the forthcoming weeks...

    All time England XI

    Pick your England line-up, from players you have seen in your lifetime (I'm going back to the 1976 series against the West Indies, as the first real series I can remember). My XI: Boycott, Gooch, Stewart (wk), Gower, Pietersen, Botham, Flintoff, Emburey, Underwood, Willis, Malcolm Gone for...

    End of Season Report (Slightly early version)

    Just thought I would cast my eye over the playing squad from this year and give my views. Flahaven - An OK season from the wee one, if a little inconsistant. Has made a number of uncharataristic mistakes (Wolves away, Barnsley home, Hull away), however has also put in some blinding...
  8. Battrick - Week 15 pops

    Quite a good week for me. How much do you think I could get for Tselane ?? Carl Schoeman (1063884) LH Batsman, RF Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, invigorated An attacking player with mediocre leadership skills and worthless experience. Plays For: BATTY SHRIMPERS...

    Couple of listed players (see here!)

  10. Spin the wheel...

    I did not realise that Southend had a SuperCasino and yet RM seems able to play with high risk stakes. Two seasons ago he kept the squad to a bare minimum and Lady Luck smiled, the wheel turned and The Blues were promoted. Instead of quitting whilst ahead he let his winnings roll on for the...

    Danny Granville

    Daily Star are reporting that us & Bristol City are interested in signing Danny Granville in the summer - as per the BBC Sport Gossip column today. Probably just paper talk to be honest, although with Spinner out of the door it would be good to have an experienced versatile defender. Oh & yes...
  12. Battrick - Week 12 pops

    Pretty good week for me Phillip Evelyn (924822) RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic A cautious player with feeble leadership skills and worthless experience. Plays For: BATTY SHRIMPERS Nationality: England Age: 18 Years Old Battrick Rating...

    The fbm view and ratings - Burnley

    FORAN DRAGS BLUES OUT OF THE MIRE Richie Foran chose the right moment to score his first goal for Southend as his injury time strike won the points against dogged resistance at Roots Hall this evening. In a tough, combative match where much of the football was scrappy and goalmouth action at...

    World Cup tips

    Australia are (still) massive favourites, so a boring choice to tip. I'm instead going for a massive long shot and say a repeat of the last but one Champions Trophy Final but with a different result and England to beat the Windies in the final. If the pitches are as low and slow as the experts...
  15. Battrick pops

    3 for me today, but still missing one for my 20yo spinner who has now gone 15 weeks since his last pop. Phillip Evelyn (924822) RH Batsman, RH Spin Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic A cautious player with feeble leadership skills and worthless experience. Plays...

    Sheffield Wednesday 3 Southend 2

    Another game, another defeat. But this was a completely different game to the defeats at Sunderland, when we were simply outclassed by a quality team, and the home game against Palace, where both teams played poorly but Palace snatched victory. We started brightly with Maher releasing Foran...
